Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

Adjustment for race is discouraged in lung-function testing, but the implications of adopting race-neutral equations have not been comprehensively quantified. We obtained longitudinal data from ...

To assess kidney function and track chronic kidney disease, health care providers commonly use a measure called eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate). But the two predominant equations used in ...

TUESDAY, March 4, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Using a race-neutral equation identifies more than twice as many Black children ...

Race-neutral equations identified twice as many Black children with asthma or asthma symptoms, in comparison to race-specific equations. HealthDay News — Using a race-neutral equation identifies more ...

There is now little doubt that both the MDRD and CKD-EPI kidney function equations have contributed to structural racism in medicine and public health. For 20 years, race, a social interpretation of ...
